Which 1/2″ corded drill do you recommend for mixing thinset/grout? I recently did some tile work in my church’s kitchen and my 5.5A 1/2″ corded Craftsman drill kept overheating and shutting off. I don’t make my living doing tile work but would certainly like to avoid this inconvenience next time that I do some tiling. Thanks.
Its nice to see the forum back up. To answer your question, I think the Milwaukee 0302-20 (They might have a newer model) is a good drill for this. I amnot sure if it is the best drill, but I have done that for a long time and never had any problems with the drill. It is an 8.0 amp and it mixes with ease.
If the Milwaukee has worked for you in the situation I described in my original post, then it should work for me too! I happen to like Milwaukee too.
I agree with you. I love that drill. I have a partner who has the drill and use it all the time. Very nice drill.
I like the Milwaukee also. My partner has owned it for a while and will buy that one next time. He loves it.
